Abstract

Apparatus for playing air-hockey is modified by providing an aperture-barrier (1) on the playing surface (12). A panel (P) on each side of the barrier is divided into portions (B) which are illuminated in response to a player sending a puck from his end of the table through an aperture (2), such passage being detected by two-way sensors (9).
